The bill which is passing the Georgia
Legislature on the recommendation OF
of Gov. Gordon, to prohibit amalgama-
ton in the schools of that State, ha:
stirred the bile of Northern fanatics
One of them, the n. 7. Independent
belches forth his gall as follows:
"If we know anything OF the grit of the
Northern men teaching in the South, they
are very patient of wrong, but they will
not do wrong. They will never shut out a
white scholar from a colored school nor a
colored scholar from white school under
their charge. Those white Northern teach
ers will send their children to the schools
they teach, and will pay no regard to
your accursed law. If you execute that
law you will have to send to prison and
the chain-gang some OF the nobfest white
men and women in your State. Do you
dare do it? Do you dare the indignation
of the North ? Do you dare the reorgani-
cation on such an issue of the Republican
party in Georgia"
All we have to say is that if there are
"Northern men teaching in the South,
who are not satisfied with the determi
nation of the authorities TO prevent
amalgamation in the schools, they can
get out; and the sooner the better.

Enders had discharged Owens for neglect
of business, and the latter threatened TO
whip or kill Enders. Very little attention
was paid to the threats, notwithstanding II
was known that Owens was desperate
man.
To-day Owens sent Mr.. Enders word
that he was sorry for the threats used aud
desired to apologize. He was invited to
Enders' Office, where he went armed with
club and revolver. No one knows Fhal

Owens went around the building, having

Why Corporation Pays.

Mr. Laroche Joberut, a French paper
maker who shares profits with his employees,
says that "given two mills with equal capital
and similar in every respect if one gives
shares and profit to its workpeople, it is
bound to beat the other out of the field, as it
will have the pick of the workmen." This is
only one of the many ways in which profit
sharing proves its proitness.
MIR. Godin, president of the great iron man.
ufaeturing industrial partnership at Guise,
says that improvements invented and patent
ed by workmen have greatly multiplied since
the cooperative system was applied, although
the profits from them go into a common
fund. During recent strike of house paint
ers in Paris the worlKnen of the Maison Le-
claire worked fourteen hours day without
complaint. The employees of silk dyeing CO.
operative company that was threatened with
financial embarrassment voluntarily reduced
their wages from forty six TO thirty-s six francs.
There has been no instance in France of q
strike by profit sharing workmen for an in;
creased reward, and several profit sharing
employees report that their help do not ask for
frequent holidays as other workmen do.
"With the results of long experience be-
fore me-" says Mr.. j. G. Patterson, of Hart
ford, Il am convinced that the payment of
fixed wages to large number of men carries
with it no inspiring motive to high stand
ing of excellence, either as to the quantity or
quality of their productions; but, on the con-
trary, it tends to Indifference and laziness. !"
To these good reults must be added the gain
to society. As Mr.. N. o. Nelson, president
of the N. o. Nelson Manufacturing company
of st. Louis, puts it: 'We shall supplant war
with peace enlarge the aggregate product
and improve the average living of the whole

lunch is as informal as breakfast. The
men are still in the covers, or if some

their shooting boots, and boast of their

at once, and it is a rigid and intolerable
etiquette that nobody shall have nap

often allowed to be present, and if the

Transferring Hysteria.

The chief French surgeons and medical
professors have for some time been carefully
studying the effects of mesmerism on the fe-
male patients of the Salpetriere hospital, and
III. Babinski, a clinical surgeon of that es-
tablishment, has just effected a series of ex-
periments the result Of which would seem to
open up new future for medical science
NJ. Babinski tried to prove that certain hys
terical symptoms could be transferred by the
aid of the magnet from one patient to an
other, He took two subjects, one dumb
woman afflicted with hysteria and the other
a female who was in a state of hypnotic
trance. A screen was placed between the
two and the hysterical woman was then put
under the influence of strong magnet.
After few moments she was rendered
dumb, while speech was suddenly restored to
the other. NJ. Babinski also effected tempor-
ary cures of paralysis in the same manner.
Luckily for his healthier patients, however,
their borrowed pains and symptoms did not
last long, and they were saved from ca
lamity almost similar to that which befell

Some of Luray's Wonders.

Three avenues radiate from entrance hall
of the Luray cave in Virginia. As we fol
lowed one of these, writes a correspondent,
we came to curious crystalline formations
called the flower garden, mainly stalagmites,
and it required no great stretch of imagina-
ton to see asparagus, caulidower, potatoes
and cabbages Still further on we went, the
electric light beyond chasing the shadows and
reminding US that some new and interesting
sight was preserved for u.s. Descending a long
fight of stairs We came to skeleton gorge.
Thirty feet above us frowns an awful ledge
on a level with other portions of the cave,
and it is supposed that some prehistoric
man exploring the cave stepped off and
perished in the Plutonian gloom. The
guide pointed out portions Of the skull, fore
arm and some small bones of human being.
An opportunity of much value is here
afforded the student, for the bones are firmly
imbedded in the limestone rock. Professor
E. r. Reynolds, of the Smithsonian institu-
ton, says that at the present rate at which
the formation is progressing these bones must
have lain there at least 500 years There is a
story current that Confederate soldier wan
dered into the cave twenty years ago and
perished there, but the story is, of course,
absurd, as the cave was not discovered How
ever, our guide told Us that each Decoration
day for several years past some of the roman
tic people of the town place wreaths upon the
spot where the bones lie, a portion of the

AT Florence and in the vicinity, but
more especially at Siena, it is said that
one hears the best-that is to say, the
only pure-Italian spoken in Italy. 1t is
the veritable language of Dante, char
acterized by long and sonorous words,
which, as they tumble from the mouths
of garcons and chambermaids, astonish
the visitor who has some knowledge of
the native tongue. If he is untaught in
that respect, as is the case with a ma
jority of the visitors, this wonderful
purity of speech, which in France is
only remarked in the valley Of the
Loire, near tours, Saumur and Anglers,
and in England certainly not in London
is sadly wasted ON him. He may prefer

After the surrender of Yorktown and
the departure of the French Washington

There is pleasant story of La Fayette's

Cured in 1884, he gave dinner party in
Paris to the American minister and some
friends who had been old associates.
Later in the evening, when it came time
for supper, the guests were ushered into
room which was in strange contrast
with the elegance of the apartments they
had been in. The ceiling was low, with
large beams crossing it; there was q
single small. uncurtained window and
several small doors. 1t looked more like
an old-fashioned Dutch kitchen than a
room in a French house. 4 long, rough
table was meagerly set. A dish of meat
stood on it, some euncouth-looking pastry,
and wine in decanters and bottles, ready
to be poured out into glasses and camp
mugs.
DO you know where we are now?"
asked La Fayette as his companions
looked about puzzled, and as if in a
dream. "Aht the seven doors and one
window! and the silver camp goblets!

An American Dentist in England.

The American dentist has become almost
as fixed an institution in England as the
French hairdresser or the German waiter.
There are probably two score in London
alone, commanding patronage which would
open the eyes of their professional brethren
at home An American who recently visited
a wealthy gentleman in one of the principal
provincial cities says: Among the callers at
the house was the principal dentist of the
town, Massachusetts, man. After he had
gone, my host, also an American, eulogized
him as one of the most fervent patriots he
knew. "He's only living here until he can
save enough money to return to the states
and live there without practicing. Doesn't
he hate the English, though! Why, do you
know he hunts through the papers here for
all the cases of wife beating and beastly things
generally he can find, and makes notes of
them. Then just as soon as he gets an Eng
lish man or woman into his chair, with his
instruments in the patients mouth, he begins
about British crime, and goes through his
whole list to prove the inferiority of this
country to America" Il should think he
would drive all his customers away" I said.
"Oh, no, they've got to come to him, and he
knows it. He's the only man in the county

gray horse, is dressed in plain black,
somewhat rusty and dusty; wears a
black stiff hat, and looks about as ordin-
airy in attire, etc., as the commonest
man. A lieutenant, with yellow straps,
rides at his left, and following behind,
two by two, come the cavalrymen in
their yellow striped jackets. They are
generally going at a slow trot, as that is
the pace set them by the one they wait
upon. The sabers and accoutrements

Il she biding, is she biding where the tender
tropic Lreeae
Tells the story of his wooings to the pillows

Where the mellow bees are humming and the

And does she bind the daisies in a posy for

Somewhere somewhere, know not where,
My love and 1 shall meet
For there's a fate through foul and fair
That guides my wayward feet.
Is she biding where the starlight CLEANS upon
the frozen gloom,
And family sings the carols that awake the
drowsy morn?
Is she biding, is she biding where the roses
never bloom,
And the poppies never wave their crimson
banner through the corn?

But surely this l know:

Howe'er the wind may blow.
